Happy Memorial Day

 We visited our family graves and had a cook out.

At least we visited some of the graves.  When we went into Arlington, they had closed the routes in and out of the cemetery to accommodate Rolling Thunder. We were turned back into an hour and a half long traffic jam. :(

While I support Rolling Thunder, I think closing the cemetery to families on Memorial Day weekend was a poor choice.  I'm still trying to figure out who to write to about it. It's the first time our family has missed decorating our graves at Arlington since 1946.

 We brought the bouquets home and left them on the table to remember our loved ones.

We still had a lovely time with family, and we prayed for and reminisced about those of us who have gone home, so it was still a happy Memorial Day!
